I used to think that I could breath underwater by cupping my hands over my mouth and filtering the oxygen out of the water. I told my mom that I couldn't understand why more people didn't try it. I was devastated when she laughed and tried explaining that things just don't work that way. These days I still have dreams that I can breath underwater...
